🚨 Ivermectin: The Cancer Killer They Don’t Want You to Know About! Ivermectin isn’t just an anti-parasitic drug—it has powerful anti-cancer properties that Big Pharma doesn’t want you to know about. Here’s how it works to disrupt cancer growth: 🛑 Stops Cancer Cell Growth – Blocks Wnt/β-catenin signaling, preventing tumors from spreading. ⚰️ Induces Apoptosis – Triggers cancer cell death while leaving healthy cells untouched. 🧹 Promotes Autophagy – Forces cancer cells to self-destruct by breaking down damaged components. 🚫 Cuts Off Tumor Blood Supply – Prevents angiogenesis, starving cancer cells. 🔥 And the BEST part? It kills cancer stem cells, the ones responsible for recurrence and metastasis—which chemo and radiation fail to eliminate. 💬 Comment “Protocol” to get my Cancer Cure Protocol, breaking down how Ivermectin and other repurposed drugs can be part of an effective anti-cancer strategy.

Scotland translates to English as “land of the Irish” from the late Roman term for the Irish, “Scotti”. Further evidence is found in the title of Ireland’s most internationally famous High King, Brian Boru who was declared “Imperator Scottorum” (“Emperor of the Irish”) in the Book of Armagh. Politically Scotland’s Irish cultural and ethnic origins have been problematic for Scottish nationalists and the English alike and it has led to much forgery in Scottish history.

A classic example is the book Historia Ecciesiastica Gentis Scotorum (Ecclesiastical History of the Scottish People) written by a Scottish author Thomas Dempster in 1627. The Dictionary of National Biography remarks of this book that it "is chiefly remarkable for its extraordinary dishonesty, claiming as Scots not only almost all Irish men of any renown but also Alcuin, Boniface and even Boadicea". Another author in recent times, Ulrike Morér, wrote it "is one of the most discredited works ever written in the field of Scottish history”. In the century following Dempster’s fraud, James Macpherson (1736-1796) attempted to steal Irish mythology and claim it was of Scottish origin thereby proving Scotland got its Celtic history not from Ireland but directly from the continent. However the man famed for producing the English dictionary Samuel Johnson, on a tour of Scotland searched for the original Gaelic manuscripts which Macpherson had allegedly translated. He couldn't find any and he returned home to denounce the works as fakes. In 1766 the great Irish antiquarian and Gaelic scholar, Charles O'Conor of Belanagare also demonstrated that Macpherson was a fraud.

Over the centuries many have fallen victim to the Scottish frauds including the Pope. In 1577 he handed over control of the Regensburg Monastery, the oldest and most illustrious of the Irish foundations in Germany to Scottish monks on the grounds that it had been an originally a Scottish foundation which had been subsequently taken over by the Irish. Schottenkloster was the name given by the Germans to Irish monasteries and the Scot element in Schottenkloster no doubt influenced the decision of the pope. Here we see the effects of semantic drift where words lose their original meanings over time and come to mean something new.

In an earlier time the process of semantic drift worked in favour of the Irish on the continent. Ireland was the Land of Saints and Scholars and it had sent so many saints to the continent that the term “Scottus/Scotti” was used as the word for 'saint' by their continental cousins.

Studying language and its migration also helps banish the propagandists. One of the greatest mysteries in Scottish history is why the native Picts abandoned their language and culture and took up the Irish language and culture. There is no record of a great war where the population were annihilated or subdued which is what one would normally expect to be responsible for the sudden death of a language (linguicide). So complete was its death that scholars have no idea about its true history and we are left with only speculative theories.

The Scots Gaelic language is a descendant of Old Irish and was brought to Scotland by Irish settlers. It became the dominant language of Northern Britain when the Picts abandoned their own. Like the adjective Celtic, Gaelic is not a term which signifies blood relationships or kinship. Yet in popular history discussions terms such as these are often confused between linguistic and similar kinship labels.

Celtic and Gaelic have been used by scholars of past centuries as a label for races of people using the false assumption that a shared language went hand in hand in hand with racial origin.

Similarly kinship is often confused with ethnicity which (the latter) is defined as “pertaining to or characteristic of a people, especially a group (ethnic group) sharing a common and distinctive culture, religion, language, or the like.” Therefore the Scots and the Irish have a shared ethnicity which started in the early medieval period and has naturally drifted apart with time. However the drift was not all natural as political and military totalitarianism of forces from both inside and outside Scotland forced changes in language and culture with varying degrees of success down through the centuries.

All nations are a mix of peoples from different genetic backgrounds. People who share a common language are not required to be of a certain genetic background to be labelled Scottish, Irish, American etc. Americans are not genetically English but do share some English ethnicity thought their main language. However, the same process which caused America to become mainly English speaking did not happen in early medieval Scotland. There was no formal education system for the masses and as far as we can tell there was no compulsory order from authorities to force Picts to speak Irish. Therein lays one of history’s great mysteries.
